Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup information uh overload hour.
Glad you're with us, 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program as we now head into the Memorial Day weekend.
Um so all of a sudden, Ronda Santas on the eve, basically, of him making an announcement that he's gonna run for president.
Of course, in come the predictable attacks.
Used to be every two years, every four years.
Republicans are racist, Republicans are sexist, Republicans are misogynists, they're homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic.
Now they've added transphobic.
Add to that they want dirty air and water, and they want grandma and grandpa to eat dog food and cat food before some Republican mean person puts them in a wheelchair and throws them over a cliff and kills them.
That's the message every two and four years.
Now it's pretty much the message every day.
Uh so you know, in the days leading up to Ron DeSantis' announcement today, uh, we have Marsha Ellison, who lives apparently in like the Tampa area, saying that black people are dying and their history is being erased, and they want it they gave out a travel advisory to any African American view uh visiting the state of of Florida, which is ridiculous.
And Derek Johnson, the NAACP president tells blacks if you travel to Florida, your life is not valued.
And then they went really nuts on MSD and C, you know, claiming that Florida is about to be a terrorist state for black and LGBTQ people.
You can't make this up, but let me play it for you.
Well, the uh the fact that African Americans certainly are dying, um, that our history is being erased, and that we are shown to have little value is not a stunt to us.
The fight for our very lives is is obviously at the top of the agenda.
So we what we want to do is with this NAACP advisory is to advise um anyone who's traveling to Florida or who who is even thinking about it, to know about the uh the hostile and racist policies that have been put into place by uh Governor DeSantis and his supporters.
Well, the governor has uh perfected the art of doing stunts to gain campaign contributions.
Unfortunately, this will impact people's lives.
Uh we should not use race or othering as a tool to weaponize against people, and it unfortunately for a large percentage of the Floridians, that's what he has done.
Therefore, we are advising African Americans and others that if you travel to Florida, beware that your life is not valued, that we have a political landscape that could cause harm as we prepare for the 2024 elections to right size the political landscape in the state of Florida.
You know, I just took my family to to spring break in Florida recently, and I think about all of the folks who traveled there for sun and joy um and peace and restoration.
And to be reminded that actually this is getting to the point where Florida is about to be a terrorist state to many of us here in America, certainly as a lesbian, as a black woman.
I don't want to have anything to do with the place.
Um and I think about all the other people who don't want to travel there either.
And so I think it was very clever on behalf of the NAACP.
I thank them uh for issuing this broad uh guidance.
I mean, you just can't make this up.
You know, uh travel advisory, terroristic state, unbelievable.
Anyway, news roundup information overload hour.
Uh we'll also get your calls in 800-941 Sean on number if you want to be a part of the uh program.
Uh but it's just so outrageous, and it's so wrong and it's so predictable, and it happens every it now it used to be every two years, four years, now it's pretty much every day.
Uh Reverend C.O. Bryant Heavyfoot is with us, uh senior fellow at Freedom Works in DC.
Uh uh welcome back, Reverend.
How are you, my friend?
Glad to be with you always, Sean.
Great to be here.
All right.
I gotta make fun of the my favorite C. L. Bryant story of all time is how many times in your life, adult life have you been pulled over by the police for speeding?
Sean, you you know the story.
I know, but there are new people listening every day.
I want to make sure they're up to speed.
And I I do drive fast.
Although I'm giving it up for Jesus.
My new bride, Annie, is going to be doing the driving for me uh from from now on.
Uh I've I'm I'm giving it up for Jesus.
Okay.
I'm glad you're giving it up for Jesus.
It's not even Lenton you're giving it up, so I give you a lot of credit.
Um, you know, I love to to kid you about it.
You're a dear friend, but um look, let here we are again, Reverend.
You know, um there's a part of me that is just furious.
However, and I've been telling people this, you know, before Ron DeSantis announcing today, whoever's gonna run and and can be viewed as a possible threat to the Democrats, this is the treatment that they get.
This is how conservatives and Republicans are treated.
Um I don't I I don't know these racist Republicans, and if they do exist, I don't want to know them.
I don't like people that are racist.
That to me, I think we're all created by the same God.
I believe that God gave all of us talent and ability, and I believe that we are equal in God's eyes, and we're all his children.
And that's it.
And if you're gonna look at people, man's choice is a propensity towards good or evil in their life, and everybody will make that individual choice.
Am I wrong?
You're absolutely right about that, Sean, and the one thing that I simply cannot understand.
The question that I'd like to ask everybody is how can the national organization for the advancement of colored people say something that is so backwards and so silly in these days and times.
Sean, any black person, my bride Annie, and I uh she's Puerto Rican.
I'm black.
We live in Florida.
By the way, she's gotta be a saint.
I can't wait to meet her.
Oh, well, come on to the wedding, you have the invitation.
Linda does too.
We'll see you there.
Okay.
Okay, I'm looking forward to I love weddings.
Okay, great.
Uh, but but Sean, we live in Florida.
And anybody who bought property here, black, white, Jew, Gentile, whoever you are, if you bought property in Florida 20 years ago, you ain't ha you ain't unhappy.
You're not unhappy.
You ain't unhappy that you moved here to Florida.
And I have to tell you that the opportunities here, regardless of who you are, is in fact overwhelming in this great state.
Yes, we love our governor and would love to see him remain governor, to tell you the truth, but we'll see what happens as far as that is concerned.
And uh, I have to tell you as well, Sean, that uh this state is one that is the most diverse, one of the most diverse states in this union.
And I don't know what they are talking about.
I do know that their motivation uh has led them to an abyss where they are looking over into a dark, dark place, and they are trying to take an entire demographic here in America with them.
It's I think their time is up, and this was the shot that they have fired that is wounded them, perhaps even mortally.
Do you think that people get this at this point has has this strategy, this playbook that Democrats have used for years.
Do you think it's like, you know, at this point now it's falling on deaf ears?
Like, for example, they have this big subway case in New York, where you have this ex-Marine along with two other people trying to restrain a homeless man uh that has serious mental issues, according to every report, arrested 42 times, uh threatening people on a subway train.
Uh so three people get involved to protect innocent people because he's threatening people on that train, according to you know, eyewitnesses that were there, and they restrain him and and the Marine in particular is saying, please call the police, call 911, call 911, call 911.
He didn't want to be involved in this, but he felt a need to step up or some innocent person was gonna get hurt.
Uh then people want to turn that into a racial issue.
I don't see it as a racial issue.
To me, it's a safety security issue.
No, uh this young man, uh his family.
What really uh gets to me about this, Sean, is that this young man had a family who in fact knew his problem, knew his he bad had a Bad situation.
The police knew he had a bad situation.
But yet they want to blame the person who ultimately stopped him, right or wrong or indifferent.
This man was failed by those who knew him best.
This particular I would argue failed by them, but also really failed by the state of New York.
I mean, he he was even arrested for violent ish uh crimes at times.
He's been released 42 times, and nobody ever what found a place, a bed for this guy in a and uh a place where he can get mental health counseling uh and some kind of support.
Uh nobody gave him a punishment for the previous crimes he committed.
Nobody.
Nobody did.
But yet now you have Al Sharpton and the usual suspects out there trying to rabble rouse around the same type of issues that they have always tried to fan.
Whenever there's a corpse of some young black man, you will find these buzzards flying around trying to make something that it is not out of it.
Again, this young man was failed, not only by the state of New York, but the people in his family who knew he needed some type of help, some type of uh of support.
They didn't give it to him, and he was a threat to those black, mostly black people in that car who did in fact come to the aid of Mr. Penny, as far as that was concerned.
This same old horse that they have been riding for all of these years, is finally tired, worn out, and I do believe it's going to be put out to pasture by the American voters.
Wow.
Uh, you know, I uh was it Ice Cube that was quoted saying, and I quoted him yesterday on the program.
Um this is not verbatim now, but something to the effect that, you know, for decades, you know, African Americans, he said for many, many decades, five, six decades, we've been voting for Democrats, Democrats, Democrats, Democrats.
What have they done for us?
And the answer is nothing.
If you look at these democratic strongholds that have predominantly minority populations, how how are the school systems doing?
Not very well, are they?
How is law and order in these areas not doing very well?
I think I'm the only one, Reverend, that has scrolled the names of all the people shot, shot, and killed.
I've been doing it since 2009.
Nobody cares about all the people shot, killed in Chicago.
And I scroll those names.
Nobody's ever heard of them either, because they only seem to politicize uh shootings when they can benefit politically from it.
That's sad.
It's not about the life, it's about politicizing.
After all these years, Sean, and you've seen it happen, bird's eye view, you've had it right there, front row seat.
After all these years, black folks uh are uh encouraged to still be angry in this country, and many are.
And there's one reason why they're still seemingly wanting to be angry at states like Florida.
It's because they've been following the same type of leadership as you quoted with Ice Cube for all of that time, and they've been getting, in many cases, particularly in the inner city, the same type of results because you've been voting the same way in those particular uh instances.
My my movie that you were one of the first to put it up on your website, Runaway Slave, award-winning film.
Uh, it does outline what happens when Democrats, in fact, take control of a mindset in a certain community.
And lo and behold, you have a travel advisory to people of color not to come to a great state of Florida where I'm telling you, uh, it is the land of the free.
And truly, you gotta be the home of the brave down here in order to really make it.
All right, quick break more with Reverend C. O'Brien, and uh, we'll get to your calls after that.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we head into the Memorial Day weekend as we continue.
All the breaking news for the analysis to help you make sense of it all.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, I've shared the importance of every school having a Knox entry access system that quickly gets law enforcement into locked doors when needed.
Now, tragically, the importance continues.
18 U.S. school shootings have occurred from January through March.
Now many schools Have a Knox entry system, but the statistics illustrate the need and importance for all schools to provide law enforcement with quick access to locked doors.
Now you can learn more about Knox Entry when you go to schoolentry.com.
Do it today, schoolentry.com.
All right, we continue with C.O. Bryant.
Uh, of course, uh, he's an amazing person that he is, the Reverend C. O. Bryant talking about the attacks against Florida, uh, the travel advisory.
It's a terroristic state.
It's insane what people are saying.
What is good?
What is it gonna take to break this stranglehold?
The the Democrats, every election year will say Republicans are racist, racist, racist.
It's a crock of you know what.
And I'm tired of it, and they uh again, if you look at blue states, blue cities, predominantly minority, uh majority neighborhoods.
Uh I think that the Democrats have failed spectacularly in terms of of helping uh minorities in this country, although they claim a monopoly of help for them.
What will it take to make the switch and understand that America's better free?
Capitalism works.
You know, prior to the pandemic under Trump policies, economic and energy policies, you know, we had record low unemployment for every demographic.
African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, uh, women in the workplace, African American youth unemployment.
We were setting record lows in every category, um, because he opened up the economy to everybody.
A straight dose of the truth, Sean, is what it's going to take.
And unfortunately, in many instances, we're getting that truth, but we have to be willing to hear it to understand what is being said and what history has taught us over that period of time.
The truth has come out that yes, uh uh a free America, a prosperous America raises all tides, raises all votes, rather, in uh this country.
And black people are are the prime example of how that can happen if in fact they embrace the opportunity instead of the victimization that they have that has been placed upon them by organizations like the NAACP and case in point travel advisory to people of color to the state of Florida.
That is absolutely case in point of the point that we're and you live in Florida.
Well, we love you, CL.
God bless you, my friend.
Thank you.
Good always, good to hear from you.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the pr uh program.
Steve is in California next on the Sean Hannity show.
Steve, how are you?
I'm doing great, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call, and thanks for all you do to uh save this country.
Thank you.
I'm trying, as so many of you are.
Together we can get this job done.
So the thing I'm struggling with right now is I'm out here in California and I've seen a lot of negative ads on uh Governor DeSantis.
And uh the problem that I'm seeing is it's not coming from Democrats, it's coming from Republican groups.
And that really, really frustrates me.
I'm I'm kind of surprised.
Well, I guess they want to win the primary out there.
That's I guess the point of it.
Um look, do I wish it was different?
Here let me just give you the background with primaries, because you know, I've been doing this 35 years.
It's very, very simple.
Is eventually, you know, the top candidates are gonna end up trying to kill each other, politically speaking.
Okay, they're gonna it's gonna be outright war, political war.
Um this one starting out that way, um, between President Trump and and Governor DeSantis.
I wish to look my own personal view is I'd like to focus on the people that are, you know, ruining the country uh in the beginning.
It's gonna come to that at some point.
It always does, no matter what people want or say they want.
You know, it's it's it's gonna turn ugly at some point.
I wish it wasn't starting that way, but that's the way it's starting.
But it's we're wasting money.
We need we shouldn't be detracting from DeSantis and Trump.
We should be uh building up the Republican Party and the republican values.
There's it it's a war out there, okay?
And we've got a lot of battles.
Okay, we have the battle of the border, battle of abortion, battle of taxes, battle of climate change, battle of fighting the reputation That uh Republicans are white supremacists.
And I think we need to be spending money in trying to uh educate people out there who think uh think otherwise that we that those things are the way the Republicans are.
We need to uh educate them on taxes.
You know what there could be some nice little skits going on out there, okay, where you've got a man sitting behind a desk and uh someone and his title there on his desk says CEO, and someone comes in and says, Hey, you know, bad news, taxes are going up.
And the CEO just turns around and says, not a big deal, okay.
It's not gonna hurt us because the taxes on our all corporations, okay?
And uh so we're all gonna raise prices.
So taxes aren't going up on us, we're not paying the taxes.
Everyone who buys our products are gonna pay on taxes.
That's the biggest uh, you know, scam that the Democrats are preaching.
You know, some simple little commercials like that will probably go a long way.
Um abortion, okay.
Let me just tell let me just tell you, you can wish this away all you want, but it's not gonna change anything.
You know, is there's certain things in in life you have to accept.
For example, if I did a focus group and we asked people whether they like negative ads or negative attacks, the answer would be overwhelmingly no, we don't like those.
However, how can we still have them every election season because negative attacks work?
That's why.
It's really that simple.
And we could try to wish this away, and you know, eventually, I mean it's it's gonna come down to two very different competing visions for the future of the country.
And it's to me it's not gonna be a complicated issue for the American people.
And they will make that decision, and it's either four more years of of this new democratic radical climate alarmist religious cult, or we go about the business of restoring America uh back to its greatness and and secure our border and bring back law and order and follow our constitution and uh become energy dominant and make money and start paying down our debt and and be fiscally responsible and and start preparing for
you know a very dangerous and hostile world with Russia, China, Iran, and others.
Uh or we don't.
Everything's on the line in you know, five hundred and twenty some odd days from now.
And I just I I cannot express you know the urgency that I feel for the sake of this country.
So we can't do it without votes, and we need to win some battles.
Abortion battle, okay.
That's that's a problem, okay.
You've got ha half the people roughly say absolutely no and the other people say you know absolutely yes.
We need to come up with a solution, so that's not a battle that we're losing with the Democrats.
Listen, I think if Republicans i i if they take a very extreme position, we already know the outcome of that.
We saw it in Pennsylvania in the governor's race, and that bled over into every other state race in Pennsylvania.
Doug Mastriano made no exceptions for rape incesto the mother's life.
Well, okay.
Uh, you know, he lost by the largest margin.
His opponent won by the largest margin of any non-incumbent since the 1940s.
It's not gonna work.
You know, the same thing happened in the Michigan governor's race, and the same thing happened in the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Abortion was front and center.
Putting aside my personal values, views, which is I believe in the sanctity of life.
Politically speaking, it is not viable to take those positions and expect to win.
You're not gonna win over suburban moms.
That is, you know, to me, sad.
Totally and completely, but I think we'd be good to get that battle behind us and somehow, and and Trump's supposed to be the big negotiator, okay, and I I believe he is, and we need to get the groups together and come up with a resolution and or some sort of agreement.
It's like, you know, like right now with the budget issues, okay.
No one's gonna get everything they want, and with the abortion issue, no one's gonna get everything we want, but we need to somehow come to an agreement and put it to bed so we're not talking about anymore.
We've got a law in place and whatever that is.
There's certain dates when it can happen.
Maybe there's certain fundings for other things that's going on.
And then the other part that the Democrat or the Republicans need to do is work on prevention and work.
Look, I think uh Bill Clinton of all people know that he said it should be legal and rare.
I think that's where the country is.
Forget about me.
That's where the country is.
And I would say legal, rare and early, I would define early as the first trimester, or if you want to go with the Mississippi law at 15 weeks.
That seems to be the consensus point.
And then the other thing Republicans can point out rightly so is Democrats want no restriction on abortion.
You know, if you ask them, their answer is, well, there's no room for the government inside of uh the doctor's office and and and the patient and the doctor being in that office.
No business for the government to be there.
Okay, number one, stop using my money to fund it, A. And number two, uh, that means that they're perfectly fine with a woman having an abortion up to the moment of birth, which we know many Democrats do favor that position.
I would turn it and flip it on them because that's extreme, that's radical, that's called infanticide, uh, or murdered.
You pick your your term.
Anyway, I gotta run 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh let's say hi to Noreen is in Maryland.
Noreen, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Thank you so much for taking my call, a first-time caller, and um I am a conservative because I I I'm so happy that you shared the gospel on your um program of Jesus Christ, and that's where I get my convictions from is from his words and his spirit.
Well, a lot of us do, and I'm one of 'em, but I will tell you C.O. Bryant cracks me up because you know, he gets pulled over for speeding and he starts talking about Jesus and he gets out of his ticket.
I mean, I've never heard anything like that.
Yeah, that's awesome.
I think I've done that too before.
But anyways, um the reason I'm calling also is because um I just think that we as a people or just people in general, we have such short uh memories.
We we don't remember how wonderful, like when President Trump was the president, how this country was blessed.
I really believe it was blessed of God.
And um there's a verse in Psalms that says, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
And so I I I appreciate Ron DeSantis, and but my point is I think is that um President Trump um has already done such an amazing work and um I like it's like the proof is in the pudding with him, you know, and I'm just so grateful to him, and I just wanted to say that.
And I'm grateful for your show.
Listen, I think that whoever the Republican nominee is and Trump now has a pretty significant lead.
Uh I will tell you that they're gonna try to destroy that person.
Doesn't matter who.
And with President Trump, that's the they're trying now through numerous legal maneuvers that they keep making again and again and again.
It's like they never stop.
By the way, so we were watching the Democrats earlier today and they're they're speaking out of against the debt ceiling.
How come they failed to mention the ninety-seven days that Joe Biden went missing?
How come they failed to go into you know how simple the Republican plan is and that while the Democrats are whining, bitching, moaning, and complaining, Kevin McCarthy actually got the d uh a debt ceiling bill passed.
If in fact this country defaults, there's only one person to blame and and one party to blame.
Joe Biden, the head of the party, the Democratic Party is the party.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
And in Long Island, New York, Ann, how are you?
Glad you called.
Thanks, Sean.
How are you today?
I'm good, thank you.
Glad you called.
Okay, great.
I want to talk about the uh migrant situation in Suffolk County.
Okay.
I uh they have made an announcement.
There was a an article on Newsday, and they had mentioned in there that the King's Park Psychiatric Center was on the table as a migrant place.
Of course they can't put them in the building, so we're looking at a tent camp here.
Everybody knows it.
This caused a bit of an uproar, and then there was a meeting yesterday of the Suffolk County legislature in the morning to hear public comments.
This is a place where average people are should be able to go to speak.
Well, a ton of groups showed up, all completely organized and funded, by the way, by our tax dollars.
Nobody's against helping everybody, just like you always say.
But I mean there was CARSIN, the first four speakers were from Carson.
This is the Central America, you know, uh resource center That's funded by our tax dollars.
But if the average person goes there and speaks, they're they're usually somewhat unprepared.
They're usually a little bit nervous.
And then their faces put all over the place and they're not protected from speaking.
So the meeting came off as looking like the public is completely on board with this.
The vote is secret for a reason, so we're protected from persecution.
But nobody's able to voice their opinion up there anymore.
And it was it was a little scary to see.
You want my advice?
I don't think certain states now can be saved.
I don't see New York changing direction.
I don't see New Jersey changing direction.
I don't see Illinois changing direction.
I don't see California changing direction.
And you know, the best thing, and and that's why you see this mass exodus.
And the people that are tending to pack up and go through the hassle of of moving themselves, their family, their business, uh, to states like Florida, Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee's because they're sick of it all.
They're sick of high taxes, burdensome regulation.
They're sick and tired of you know draconian shutdowns and politicians that that don't know anything.
So they'll they're voting with their feet and they're leaving.
I mean, you really can't blame them, can you?
Anyway, I appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, with crime on the rise, I wanted uh upgrade my firearm security and while researching gun safes.
Look, I found a game changer.
It's called Safe X by Rhino Metals.
It's truly revolutionary.
I love it.
So glad I got it.
So glad I found it.
Uh just go to their website.
You can see for yourself.
It's Rhino, spelled like the animal, RhinoSafe.com, R-H-I-N-O-S-A-F-E dot com.
Uh take a look at their side-by-side pride tests, and then you judge for yourself.
You're gonna be amazed.
Uh so both Linda and I now have the Rhino Safe X, and we both love them.
And Sean, let me just tell you, it looks amazing.
It's so cool.
And for women who don't want to beg ugly safe, you won't have that with this.
It looks great.
You didn't get what I got.
I got the antique industrial ironworks finish, that old style looks like it's from like the hundreds.
It's very cool.
Yeah.
You should have picked mine.
You didn't listen.
You're right, I should have.
Anyway, you check out also their gun rackets that swings out and it right out of the safe, it gives you best access to your firearms.
Anyway, they have a huge network of expert dealers across the country.
If you're a dealer and you don't have rhino safes, you need to get in touch with them, and they're all backed by the best warranty support around.
They've been in business since 1995, a veteran-owned company.
Look, they're just the best.
I'm very happy with my safe.
If you want the best and you want to be a responsible gun owner, go to their website, RhinoSafe.com.
Rhino like the animal, R-H-I-N-O-S-A-F-E.
